So glad it's left our house, for now...Only thing is, after giving her the white rice, I'm not sure if she's pooped, yet? It's always something

Very happy to hear that Apple is feeling good again! Might take a little time before she has to poop. Max had an episode of diarrhea after having too much chew bone and it took his system time to fill up and produce another poop.

Crossing my fingers for you that Cha Cha doesn't get it.

That's interesting about the "chew bone"? Was it a bully stick? That crossed my mind w/Apple & Buzz, but Cha Cha out chews the Yorkies, 3-1 lol...I've been brainstorming about this weird diarreah, and I'm wondering, because we haven't had any rain, and the squirrels and birds, are really on the move, if it could be squirrel or bird droppings? Cha Cha isn't interested in rooting around for such things, but my two Yorkies are...If it doesn't rain, tonight, as forecasted, I'm thinking I'm going to give my yard a washing, around the trees, w/a water hose...

Sometimes my pups get diarrhea and/or vomiting for what seems to be no reason at all....and often it will go through a few of them before it leaves. I never really know what it was.
One of my pups woke me up the other night vomiting all over my bed. yikes! By morning he was fine. Another one had diarrhea at the same time, but that was also short lived.
I always figure that perhaps they picked up something in the yard, but I never know for sure.
Unless it is continuous and they have symptoms of dehydration, I normally let it run its course.

Yep, that's how Apple's sickness started, all over my bed at 2 a.m., last Saturday morning ...And yes, Apple & Buzz both seemed to have made it through, o.k...Other than more than a few poopie clean ups w/Buzz and one major, huge cleanup w/Apple, the hardest part was seeing them not feeling so good ...Thanks for the input, Lin...Hope your clan are all doing well, at this time...

I'm just sorry I did not see it sooner; but I have not been around. Been very sick and not up to doing much.
Glad your kids are ok.....all of mine are fine, thanks!
